NCLEX RN testing locations-is Pearson Vue the only one that does it?

[HappyNurse2005, RN]

I know Pearson Vue does NCLEX-RN testing. I am graduating in 5 months and was looking on the PV website, and saw that in my state, there are only 5 PV centers that do the NCLEX testing. 5 for the whole state?? (at least one is in my city) makes me think that scheduling will be awful tight-or are there other companies that offer the testing?

Maybe this is a silly question, but I obviously haven't taken the NCLEX before, so I don't know :)

thanks!

I think pearson is the only one that tests for NCLEX. They took it over in 2003 from the last company. As far as i know it has to be taken through them at their designated locations for control purposes.
